When a slow, rare gas, metastable atom, a longlived, electronically excited atom, is
introduced onto a solid surface, most of its excitation energy is used to eject electrons from …

Electron polarimeters based on Mott scattering are extensively used in atomic and
molecular, solid state, nuclear, and high-energy physics. This use stems from the increasing …

The rapid growth of the subject since the first edition ten years ago has made it necessary to
rewrite the greater part of the book. Except for the introductory portion and the section on …

The high spatial resolution imaging of magnetic microstructure has important ramifications
for both fundamental studies of magnetism and the technology surrounding the magnetic …

This book covers a section of the field of polarized electron physics, which has experienced
a particularly rapid growth over the past decade. It deals with spin-polarized electron …

The electronic structure of non-magnetic low-dimensional materials can acquire a spin
structure due to the breaking of the inversion symmetry at the surface or interface. This so …

The magnetic and electronic properties of itinerant ferromagnets and their interplay have
been studied in the last few years by spin resolved electron spectroscopy on one hand and …

A compact retarding‐potential Mott polarimeter is described that employs a thorium target.
When operating at an electron accelerating voltage of 25 kV, the instrument provides …

The Rationale for the Present Book Perhaps the most critical problem facing present-day
particle physicistsis to delineate the relationship between classical and quantum systems …

High resolution photoelectron spectroscopy is recognized to be a very powerful approach to
study surface and bulk electronic structures of various solids by employing different photon …
